Abstract: A magnetic disk sub-system according to the present invention provides for sudden cutting off of a main power supply such as a power failure so that the backup by battery is effected to supply electric power to the cache memory (4) from a battery (5) upon cutting off of the main power supply in order to protect data in the cache memory and when the main power supply is cut off by operation of a main power supply switch the backup by battery is stopped to cut off supply of electric power to the cache memory from the battery after data in the cache memory is written into a magnetic disk unit (D1-Dn) and supply of electric power from the main power supply is then cut off. Further, the magnetic disk sub-system according to the present invention divides the cache memory into several portions so that the backup by battery can be controlled independently to thereby extend the backup period.

Abstract: It was found that the conversion (by isomerisation or branching) of unsaturated fatty acids into branched fatty acids can be catalysed by materials having a microporous structure. Such a process gives high conversion rates and a high selectivity towards branched fatty acids, whilst a low amount of undesired by-products is obtained. Zeolites are preferred materials for catalysing said reaction.

Abstract: A new technique for the determination of the masking effect of an audio signal is employed to provide transparent compression of an audio signal at greatly reduced bit rates. The new technique employs the results of recent research into the psycho-physics of noise masking in the human auditory system. This research suggests that noise masking is a function of the uncertainty in loudness as perceived by the brain. Measures of loudness uncertainty are employed to determine the degree to which audio signals are "tone-like" (or "noise-like"). The degree of tone-likeness, referred to as "tonality," is used to determine masking thresholds for use in the compression of audio signals. Tonality, computed in accordance with the present invention, is used in conventional and new arrangements to achieve compression of audio signals.

Abstract: A microstrip patch filter in which a dielectric has a ground plane printed on one of its faces and a conductive arrangement printed on the other of said faces, the conductive arrangement includes a flat patch, input and output leads electromagnetically coupled to the flat patch, the flat patch or the dielectric substrate has a reactance-enhancing metallic constriction located along a portion of the patch. When the constriction is in the patch it forms a current-concentrating inductive constriction. When the constriction is in the dielectric substrate, it enhances the capacitance. In an embodiment, the patch has two mutually-transverse constrictions that divide the patch into four sub-patches cross-connected by current-concentrating inductive constriction.

Abstract: The invention is related to medicine and veterinary fields, in particular to nonsteroidal antiglucocorticoids. An aim of
the invention is the establishment of a new class of drugs with low toxicity and high activity in regulation of sensitivity of
mammalian cells to the glucocorticoid hormones. There is a naval application of an insect pheromone with long-chain
aliphatic nonsteroidal structure or its synthetic analog or derivative that is unsaturated aliphatic alcohol, aldehyde or ester,
for specific inhibition of glucocorticoid hormone influence on mammalian cells. The aliphatic carbon chain length of these
pheromones varies from 10 to 21 carbon atoms. There is also a possibility of combining application of two or more pheromones
and/or their synthetic analogs and derivatives for enhancement of therapeutic activity, selection being made on the basis of
different hydrophobic properties proportional to the aliphatic carbon chain length. Difference in lengths of these chains must
be no loss than five carbon atoms. Example of preparation of the pharmaceutical forms and results of comparative
experiments that show their high activity are disclosed.

Title: Method of operating a switching facility and an expandable digital switching system for carrying out the process
Inventor: SAVORY JESSEL
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: A method of operating a switching facility is based on a data base consisting of individual data sets which can be addressed via a key term. The data base is held on a mass store with relatively high access time. To reduce the data access time, a RAM is provided in which the data sets from the data base can be stored. Also provided is a second store area in which a field of pointers to such data sets can be stored, and access occurs in such a way that a field index is derived from the key term. By requesting a pointer to a data set in the first store area, the data set is taken from either the RAM or the mass store. In the latter case, the data set once read out is duplicated in the RAM and an appropriate pointer is entered. For that purpose, a preferably digital and expandable switching system is provided for switching the PCM signals; the said switching system comprises at least one host computer (60), at least one telephone server (70) and a plurality (50) of elementary telephone switching contacts (100, 101...) which are interconnected via a high-speed communications network (80).

Abstract: The invention provides intrafallopian devices and non-surgical methods for their placement to prevent conception. The efficacy of the device is enhanced by forming the structure at least in part from copper or a copper alloy. The device is anchored within the fallopian tube by imposing a secondary shape on a resilient structure, the secondary shape having a larger cross-section than the fallopian tube. The resilient structure is restrained in a straight configuration and transcervically inserted within the fallopian tube, where it is released. The resilient structure is then restrained by the walls of the fallopian tube, imposing anchoring forces as it tries to resume the secondary shape.
